I have also observed this behaviour, and as far as I can work out, it comes from sawfish (the default helix window-manager) not allowing itself to be upgraded gracefully. The best way that I have found to get around this is to log out of X (and into the GDM login screen) and then run the apt-get upgrade from a console. If anyone has any better suggestions, I'd be interested to hear about them. It's pretty annoying, especially with something updated as frequently as sawfish. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller (dm-sig6@empire.net.au) / It's not a sense of humor. * Criminologist / It's a sense of irony * Webmeister / disguised as one. * Linux Geek / - Bruce Sterling - Running Debian GNU/Linux: Doing my bit for World Domination (tm) -
